Religious right groups are always quick to blame the gay community and the rest of the "secularlists" of what they call a plan to either silence or destroy Christianity.
In reality, Christianity gets worse and worse press because of men like the one in the above video. He is Wayne Sapp, pastor of Dove Ministries (talk about your oxymoron) in Florida. And he isn't happy that Gainesville, FL may elect an openly gay mayor, Craig Lowe.
And he doesn't beat around the bush about his anger either:
Here in Gainesville, they're getting ready to have a run-off election between two candidates, and one of them is openly a homo, gay, fag -- whatever you want to call him. We got one running for mayor of Gainesville, trying to convert Gainesville into Homoville. We can't have it.
Now tell me, would you want to join any group which implies that it encourages such openly blatant hatred?

I pray for people like this. When I am in church, I hear a message of love, and I don't hear or see anything that suggests to me that being gay is sinful. Jesus never said it. I hope they learn to love. I think it is odd that the only "sin" they see for which they want to deny people civil rights is "homosexuality." Why not start denying civil rights to divorced people, people who lie, people who fornicate. Disenfranchise ever sinner. Then there will be no one left.
